One of the latest updates broke WeHatePlates, the mod that makes plates craftable with ingots. In the next update, the mod will be fixed, but I have also completely changed how it works. Instead of having crafting/bending plates at all, you will just be able to do this: This has the byproduct of being able to use ingots instead of plates to cover GregTech machines. Now, the current version of the mod adds its own plates (that have the easy recipe). These plates will stay for a while, but the plates will be removed in a later version. Make sure to use them, or smelt them back into ingots before that happens. For the people with automated systems: you will have to adapt your systems from the old plate-crafting mechanic to the new system when the update is out. The recipe for the plates will be disabled, and like I said, the plates themselves will be removed later.
Maybe we could implement the ingot crafting first but don't remove plates yes, and then make a shop at spawn sell ingots for plates? Just in case people haven't been here for a while and don't know about the news, it's good if they don't waste any resources (especially iridium plates - edit: the cheaper ones).
What about Iridium Plates, which require 4 Iridium ingots to make 1 plate, not to mention the advanced alloy and diamond dust?
Those are a different kind of plates, which has been around even before GregTech appeared. Ironically, the 'expensive' Iridium Plates actually need 'cheap' Iridium plates.
